===2nd Logo (1984-1995)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, a line draws vertically across the center of the screen. After this, more lines draw horizontally and diagonally. Each line is labelled with a number. The vertical line is "1", the horizontal line is "2", and the two offset diagonal lines are "3" and "4". Twelve lines draw across the screen from the top, labelled "5" through "17" as they are drawn. Lines "15" through "17' are a bit bolder than the others. A circle is drawn between lines "6" and "12". This circle is labelled "18". A larger circle is drawn in between lines "5" and "13". This circle is labelled "19". A final line, labelled "20", crosses through line "3" and creates an axis.The orange outlined characters "CANAL" (along with more lines through each letter to give a 'blueprint' effect), and a plus-sign in a darker shade of orange appear, labelled "21" through "26" for each respective character. A rainbow gradient begins to spin around in the two circles formed earlier. It starts to rotate away from the viewer, and the "CANAL+" letters become dark gray after filling with static.

<u>Music/Sounds Variants:</u>  

<u>Availability:</u> Long extinct. This was a bumper to signal the initial transmission of the channel. The short version with "D.A." was seen on Mighty Max when that show last aired on the USA Network in the late 90s; it's possible other Canal+ co-productions of the era may have it as well.

<u>Editor's Note:</u> None.

===3rd Logo (1995-2003) ===

<u>Logo:</u> First we see the a white screen with a black square in the middle. Then after the screen flashes we see a white square in the middle. Then it cuts to a white screen with a black rectangle in the middle, with a red square to the bottom left circling around the screen while bars pop up. Then we cut to a green rectangle flashing that later turns into a square while bars from all places pop up. Then we cut to black rectangle at the top with moving orange squares at the bottom that then move to all places of the screen. Then we cut to screen with a black rectangle at the bottom while at the top a blue square moves from left to right. Then we see flashing yellow squares. Then it cuts to a quickly flashing rectangle from the bottom left while black and gray squares move around the other places of the screen. Then we cut to a flashing screen. Then gray squares in the middle and finally to the company's name that first goes to the top, then the bottom and then the middle.

<u>Editor's Note:</u> The visuals and music in this logo are quite difficult to stomach, but otherwise this is a nice logo.

<u>Logo:</u> We see the logo together with moving squares. First from both sides from left to right, then from top to bottom, then from all 4 directions, then it turns black.

<u>Logo:</u> "CANAL+", written in 3 different colors (blue to the left, red to the right and green to the bottom) get juxtaposed on each other, causing the logo to become white, then rectangles with "CANAL+" written on them (blue to the left, red to the right and green to the top) move from the logo to the borders of the screen. Then it fuses with the rectangles and the background turns white. "Merci Étienne" is sometimes written below the finished logo.

<u>Editor's Note:</u> The flashing might catch some off-guard.

===6th Logo (2009-)===

{{Seizure Warning}}

<u>Logo:</u> We see several things with a split between 4 screens. Then the logo forms itself on the split, with "+" combining all 4 corners.

<u>FX/SFX:</u> Live-action, the logo forming in the middle.
